Heart Surgery

Excellence in Pediatric Heart Surgery

At Nemours, our cardiac surgeons have the experience, skills and advanced technology required to provide swift diagnosis and repair in children of all ages with heart disease. We specialize in complex congenital (present at birth) heart disease (often called “congenital heart defects”), offering first-class pediatric heart surgery as well as minimally invasive surgical approaches and hybrid techniques (that combine traditional surgery with interventional catheterization techniques).
